Buying on auction in Mpumalanga
How do sheriff auctions in Mpumalanga work?
A sheriff auction is a sale in execution ordered by the court, usually after a bond or levy default. The sheriff advertises the sale in the Government Gazette and sells to the highest bidder. A deposit (commonly 10%) and the sheriff’s commission are payable on the day; the balance is secured by guarantees within the period set in the conditions of sale.
What happens at an auction-house sale?
You register with FICA documents and a refundable registration fee, bid live or online, and on the fall of the hammer pay a deposit plus buyer’s commission. Most sales are subject to a confirmation period during which the seller accepts or rejects the highest bid.
Can I view the property first?
Auction houses usually hold scheduled viewings and publish an information pack. Sheriff properties generally cannot be viewed inside; buyers rely on the Gazette description and a drive-by.
Is the property sold voetstoots?
Yes. Auction properties are sold as they stand, usually with no guarantees about condition, occupation or arrears. Budget for outstanding rates, levies and possible eviction costs.
